Every time big ticket festival like Coachella releases their lineup, it's a common feeling to scan the list of artists and feel baffled at who some of them are. That feeling of confusion has been hilariously tapped by Botnik Studios, a self-described "community of writers, artists and developers collaborating with machines to create strange new things." The group's latest man-machine collab is a fake Coachella lineup, and you can check it out above via Botnik's Twitter.

Botnik's lineup was "generated by a neural network trained on thousands of band names," according to Botnik's tweet. Part of what makes the computing system's band names so funny is how uncanny they are — almost like Sophia the Robot is curating the lineup is curating the lineup — usually they're just a little bit more ridiculous than reality. But just as often it feels like the artists could be real, which makes the joke even better.
